The bumper thing is a good idea, a guy that I know had an integra and the previous owner had taken the bumper out, he rear ended someone and it f**ked his s**t up. It took out the core support and all the s**t around it instead of keeping the impact located around the bar. If only more people would put forth the effort to do something like that. It ups the "not dying" factor in a crash. Especially since you will be drifting it, front end damage is a reality. If I didn't like honda's, I own the next best thing, which I have almost bought several of, is a 240sx and have researched the swaps and wiring required and it is all pretty simple just like a honda, unless you plan on swapping in an Rb swap, which you aren't. Good luck with the swap. I like 240's more than most people's cars on the swap, and nissan people are a bit more friendly to one another than honda people usually are. Honda guys are honda guys worst enemies, not like a chevy-ford kinda thing, it is a which engine is best, which generation is best, turbo-n/a-nitro, yada yada yada and then you have to worry about other honda guys stealing your s**t. I haven't heard so much of that about nissan guys, but they aren't as main stream or something, sorry for the rambling, I want to see some completed engine pics.UPDATE! heres some new pics. this doesnt really reflect the progress that well. the motor WAS already in and running yesterday, but once it got up to operating temp the BRAND NEW cometic head gasket failed, so f**k that company. they bought me a brand new cosworth one so that should be better.
on with the pics.
they did some experimenting with making a bumper support that goes in front of the IC since usually FMIC kits on S13's either require removing it, or cutting out the center section. so if i hit a haybale or anything at an event my front mount wont get destroyed. i think its pretty cool, you wont see it with the bumper cover anyway.
So no-one knows where DD is?
